Really beautiful, love the atmosphere and the music! Congrats :)

Breathtaking art! I would love to explore this world more!

There were a couple of weird things with the frame, for example when reaching the end it looked like this

Thank you for the feedback, this was solved!

incredible atmosphere and world

Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing polish and mood!!

Screenshots look stunning -- it would be awesome if you posted a downloadable build, for some reason I can't play at all on my browser

Very pretty! I also had issues running it. Switching from Safari to Chrome seemed to fix it... it would run for a bit and then crash :frowning: But I got to the end, and it was very pretty, going between biomes felt really well done too.

the game runs well here - love the atmosphere and how soothing it is. the backgrounds are really pretty and I'm surprised at how many frames some animations have. kudos to the team!

Gorgeous - really well done! Really enjoyed the music & the use of color to lure players toward progressing; going to take a lot of notes from y'all!

Incredibly beautiful and enjoyable game, the art is great and the atmosphere in general.
Thank you for this game!

Looks absolutely amazing and the different areas having different themes and creatures really helps build a sort of story behind it all. Only real gripe is that it's a bit difficult to dodge the stingray when it's zoomed in so much but other than that it's really good :P

OMG I love the art in this game, it's so good!!

there isn't much here as far as gameplay gameplay but I can tell there was a lot of work put into the way the game visually flows. it's so cool how it starts form the dark and cold feeling environment and it slowly transitions to the warm and bright tones as you go, as well as the little aquatic present getting a little bit more alien looking. The final section feels very comforting and peaceful. it's real visual treat and a great payoff for making it to the end.

This is one of my fave game stylistically, congrats to the the artists!!

beautiful game! im a sucker for some good art, and boy was this good!
i did notice some lagging in the final area, but it was still playable

5/5 art style, it was a joy to just swim through the water, definitely felt like one of those games on the ps3 that were a abstract stroll. NICE JOB!!

This was an experience. Terrifying at times. Overall, simply beautiful.

Amazing art style - although at some points I couldn't tell which parts of the map were passable. After a while, the framerates did drop although I'm not sure if that was my browser.

That was a wonderful experience! I got lost so many times trying to escape the jellys! The hard cut on the music got my heart rate spike!

Really liked the detail in the art. Like @keeta I found it difficult to tell where I could go.

I got stuck on the bottom of the last level, was that supposed to happen?

absolutely beautiful artwork.

cinema

Beautiful game! I really liked the escaping from shark part. I struggled a bit at first finding out which layer was the real wall :sweat_smile:

Simple and clean. And checkpoints! Art is good

So fun! I love how the environment reacts to you as you swim, especially the fish. And the art is breathtaking, amazing that you managed to do all this in such a short timeframe, good job!

Really great art. The aesthetic was really nice.

The changes between the regions felt a little abrupt - particularly with the music. Easing into those sections in terms of slowly indicating that things are changing and having the music fading in and out might help make those moments feel less abrupt. I also had a bit of trouble figuring out where I was going towards the end. Maybe there could be some kind of mechanical indication of which way you should go?

Enjoyed the game though!

So beautiful game, a wish i had your artist!

this has got to be my favourite of all time. i love it when a whole bunch of artists get together on a game. the results never fail to impress. wonderful job all of you!!! im obsessed

Thank you for you feedback @audddible. Glad you liked it

The art is indeed impressive as is the "depth" of content.

Art is really breathtaking! I absolutely love it, the whole aesthetic. The music is alos very good, but i wish it looped and transition more seamlessly. And while the game ends a little abruptly i did really enjoy playing through it and just breathing atmosphere in!

Really cool atmosphere you built, good job !

Beautiful artwork

the art is incredible! very polished game.

Amazing interactive art piece! The gameplay is pretty barebones, but I was fully motivated to keep going just to soak in more of the sights.

This is **pretty**. I got to the end wishing there was more, hope you guys continue working on this in the future!

Very nice ambiance and shape design, super cool use of depth and a simple yet effective game really enjoyed that one

Delightful art! You have created an amazing and mesmerising underwater world that one wants to explore and discover.
The music is very nice and the shark scene creates a decent amount of tension.
I would like you to improve the level design so it's easier to understand where to move, as well as understand which obstacles you can swim under and which you can't.

Stunning visuals, I loved swimming through this world.💙💙💙

It's rare to see a team with so many more artists than programmers, and it really shows in the end result! This game is truly a piece of art, with the beautiful environments, animals and character animations, plus the impeccable sound design that is so peaceful up until it gets you stressed out to run away from the shark haha. As for the gameplay, it's simples, yet fun and engaging. I like how it doesn't punish you too much for dying... You respawn just a bit behind. I would've liked it to be a bit longer, but it's understandable to keep the scope smaller for the jam. Overall, amazing work!

You did very well!
Giant credits to all these artists!
Great job!

P.S. Please support WASD :D

Superb visuals and effect. I would consider mouse support for less jarring animation, and more smooth transition between the nice music scores

It’s so beautiful! All the little details and animations – amazing work! :) Also really loved how the atmosphere shifts over time, such a nice touch.

Cute game! Its strongest aspect is the mood, everything work together well. Graphics are nice, I like your take on a Limba style underwater. Animations of the character are a bit lacking imo, it works but could feel more alive. Good job!

The artwork was so incredible! I hit a point where I was being reset a bunch and it took me a minute to realize it was the animals on screen that were resetting me so maybe I would recommend making them look a little more like a hazard. Apart from that, great game!

Ahhh so peaceful.... WHY IS THERE BOSS MUSIC

Great entry! Loved the design of the enemies and the individual biomes and your art team really knocked it out of the park. Given the layered nature of the art I feel like parallax would be pretty easy to add to really give it a sense of depth (pun intended). Good job!

Wonderful mood and visuals. I Would have given top audio marks too but you have opted out of audio? A shame as the changing music when the shark arrives was lovely. Great entry here, a lot of polish and smooth visuals. Solid!

So prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Amazing job on the visuals. I got reminded of Abzu a bit when playing, which was a super pretty underwater game too :D. Pretty cool audio too, how come you opted out of audio?

@designernap @tygrak some of the sfx are not original. But all music are. Glad you enjoyed.

The art is so amazing! That shark scared me. I loved how vibrant and beautiful the ocean was. Great job!

This is such a beautiful game - kudos to all of the artists! The environment has a wonderful surreal look to it, and I love how it evolves as you go. Great use of colours to create moods as well. I also enjoyed the little touches that added to the aesthetic: for example, the school of fish that moves away as you approach, or the way the camera eases in and out to direct your attention.

I do have a few suggestions to make this better. First, on the graphical side - normally I wouldn't mention this, but since this is a visuals-focused game, there should really be a fullscreen option on the web build. It was stuck in a small window and I couldn't fully immerse myself. I would also suggest running it in a higher resolution to show off the art. Even in that small window it looked pretty jagged to me.

Gameplay-wise, I understand that this is essentially a walking simulator, where the mood and visuals are the real focus. However, I think some more thought-out gameplay elements could enhance that mood even more. For example, the movement right now is very stilted - you could think about creating some smoother movement that makes the player feel like they're swimming. I would also improve the navigation. The art is gorgeous, but it's often hard to tell what's a wall and what's not, or where to go next. You could use colours and light to better direct the player's attention to the path forward. In terms of new ideas, you could always add some light puzzle or exploration elements to keep the player engaged and immersed in the world.

Overall, beautiful work!
